A Port St. Lucie Pedestrian Accident Attorney From The Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine Can Help
Pedestrians are classified as vulnerable road users in Florida, along with people who use wheelchairs and bicycle riders. Being injured as a pedestrian can cause lifelong physical and psychological injuries, not to mention the toll it can take on your finances, ability to work, and home life. Coping with an accident claim on top of your recovery may seem daunting, especially if a negligent motorist caused the accident.
Driver error is the leading cause of accidents, according to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). Common factors that contribute to driver negligence include:
- Driving while using a smartphone or other types of distracted driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Driving while fatigued
- Reckless driving, such as speeding
- Failing to yield to pedestrians and other road users
- Failing to obey traffic controls or signals
If you were injured or lost a loved one in a pedestrian accident caused by a negligent driver, our Port St. Lucie pedestrian accident lawyers can help you build a strong case to pursue compensation based on the injuries, expenses, and losses you suffered. We can identify the liable party, gather evidence to prove negligence and liability, and document your damages.

Recovering Damages In A Port St. Lucie Pedestrian Accident Case
When we file an insurance claim or take a pedestrian accident case to trial, we are pursuing damages on behalf of our clients. These damages include all the expenses and losses we identified as being accident-related during our investigation. Some common damages include:
- Past and future medical care related to your injuries
- Ongoing care costs
- Past and future lost wages and benefits
- Miscellaneous expenses related to your accident or injuries
- Pain and suffering damages
- Emotional distress
We can also take on your family’s wrongful death case if you lost a member of your immediate family because of the injuries they sustained in a pedestrian accident in Port St. Lucie.
How Compensation Is Calculated In Pedestrian Accident Claims
Every client we help is unique and faces different challenges from their injuries, so it is difficult to place an exact dollar amount on the financial recovery we could obtain without first reviewing the facts of your case. As an overview, compensation is determined by the following elements:
- The severity of your injuries and how they affect your life and ability to work
- The psychological impact of your injuries
- The circumstances of the accident
- The insurance coverage available
- Whether or not you bear any fault for the accident
Keep in mind; that even if the other driver or their insurance company does insist you share responsibility for causing the accident, we can help you dispute their findings so you could still recover financial damages.
Florida Laws That Can Affect Your Right To Pursue Compensation
FL § 95.11 imposes a statute of limitations that creates a deadline for taking legal action in this type of case. Because we need to conduct a full investigation to prove negligence, liability, and damages, it is imperative we get to work as soon as possible. Call us as early in the process as you can so we can go to work for you with sufficient time to develop a case on your behalf.
